A first round pick in 1999 (22nd overall), King recorded just 94 tackles and 12 sacks over the span of 57 games (37 started) at the defensive end position during his 5-year tenure with the Seahawks. As ordinary a bust as you’ll find on this list, no off field trouble, no career threatening injury, King simply underperformed for a first round pick.

While it’s difficult to blame a player’s bust on injury, it still can be the main factor in a draft pick wasted. A consensus All-American out of the University of Wisconsin, McIntosh was taken 22nd overall by Seattle in 2000. After a promising start to his rookie campaign, McIntosh saw his workload steadily increase during the 2000 season and he started 10 games for the Seahawks. But similar to Tubbs, injury would diminish his success. After a preseason neck injury limited him to just three starts in 2001 and zero appearances in 2002, the Hawks had no choice but to release him before the 2003 season.

A defensive tackle out of Texas with huge potential, Tubbs was drafted by the Seahawks 23rd overall in 2004. Tubbs started 11 games his rookie year and 13 in his sophomore season, recording a respectable 53 tackles and 6.5 sacks. But after micro-fracture surgery to his knee caused him to miss 11 games in 2006, Tubbs was placed on injured reserve before the 2007 season ever began. A year later he was released from the team.

- While Seattle didn’t technically draft Stouffer (the 6th overall pick in 1987 by the St. Louis Cardinals), the Hawks acquired him before the ’88 season after he couldn’t agree on contract terms with the Cardinals. From third string to starter back to third string, Stouffer never did quite get it together. Starting just 16 games over 5 years for Seattle, he collected a 5-11 record, accompanied by 2,333 yards and 19 interceptions to just seven touchdowns. The Hawks released him after the 1992 season.

A year before the Seahawks drafted Stevens, they took a chance on Robinson, drafting the N.C. State wide receiver 9th overall in 2001 ahead of now notable NFL pro bowlers Reggie Wayne, Chad Johnson and Steve Smith. Robinson played second fiddle to fellow wideout Darrell Jackson during his 4-year stay with the team. Although Robinson showed great promise on the field, he was ultimately released in 2004 due to his inability to follow the league’s substance-abuse policy.

Jerramy Stevens -

A hometown hero, Stevens was touted as one of the nation’s best tight ends coming out of the University of Washington and was selected 28th overall by the Seahawks in 2002. Unlike the other members of this list, Stevens’ bust status doesn’t come from what he did on the field - 130 receptions for 1,458 yards and 15 touchdowns across five seasons for Seattle – but for the trouble he constantly found himself in off it. Numerous arrests before and after joining the team made his spiral into free agency inevitable.

A former Butkus Award winner and All-American at Wake Forest, Curry was drafted 4th overall by the Seahawks in 2009 and was thought to be the future focal point of the defense. Signing what was the richest non-quarterback rookie contract in league history at $60 million, Curry played in just 35 games for the Hawks, amassing 156 tackles and a lackluster 5.5 sacks before being traded to the Oakland Raiders five games into the 2011 season.

- With the exception of Cris Carter (’87) and Bernie Kosar (’85), has a decent player ever come out of a supplemental draft? And yet, the Seahawks took a chance on Bosworth after he failed to declare in time for the 1987 draft. They should have known better. Bosworth started 12 games his rookie season, 10 his sophomore and just two games in his third before abruptly retiring due to a shoulder injury he suffered during the ’88 season. Known more for his brash talk (and humiliating loss to the Bo Jackson Raiders of ’87) than his on field walk, Bosworth will always have a place on this top 10 list.

- It was a toss up between Mirer and McGwire for the No. 1 spot and had it not been for Mirer’s impressive debut season in which he set rookie records for attempts, completions and yards, he might have got the nod. Drafted 2nd overall in 1993 by the Hawks, Mirer started all 16 games that season, but led the team to a less-than-stellar 6-10 finish. During his 4-year career in Seattle the team never finished above .500, and aside from 1994, Mirer constantly found himself on the wrong end of the touchdown-to-interception ratio.

Dan McGwire

- A draft bust to rule them all, the 6-foot-8 McGwire was the first quarterback selected (16th overall) in the 1991 draft - a lesser known QB by the name of Brett Favre slipped to the 2nd round that year - and started all of three games for the Seahawks during his 4-year stint with the team. He totalled just 578 yards and a touchdown during his final season before going to Miami. A year later he was out of football.
